Update #41: Assembling

YTG

Had the Zoom meeting for the Winter mini show
Marie, Loic, Julia, Merritt and myself discussed the theme
- Dug more into the idea of COERSION invalidating consent
- Me: how would a society based around consent work? What would it need
  - Thinking, of course, of Iain M. Banks “The Culture” as I’m just finishing up a re-read of that series
- Thought about consent around AI
- Thought about consent around data brokerage
- Loic and Merritt brought up that there’s a difference between Moral/Ethical consent and legal consent
- Question that might be a whole other show: DO DEAD PEOPLE HAVE RIGHTS?
Amazing discussion, and we start rehearsals on Monday
- Which I will be late for— I’ll explain why in a minute
Tax forms haven’t come yet!!!

Podcasting

October 14 and 15 don’t look like they’re going to work
- October weekends have gotten crazy

Photography

Booked a last minute photo shoot this past weekend
Spanish couple contacted me out of the blue on Friday
Shot on Sunday; need to get their photos to them by next week
- Very stressful shoot
- Low light, rain
- Meiju Jingu closed early
- Have attached a few of the better shots
Just on Tuesday, booked a job for next Monday at the Indian Embassy
- Charged closer to what I’m worth than I have been
Both of these are kind of random
- Spanish couple found me through a web search
- Indian Embassy job is being arranged by a guy who met me when I photographed a TEDx event at YNU five years ago in 2018
  - He was a student organizer, and I was brought in at the last minute
